ID is bad theology dressed up as a philosophy - it is a “god of the gaps” argument.
It seems to me that if anyone thinks all modern species arose within the last few thousand years from a few “kinds” that could fit on a boat- they believe in “evolution” and “speciation” on a scale much greater than any evolutionary biologist proposes.
They just don't think “common descent of species” goes on as far.
What mechanism are you going to teach to explain the arising of antibiotic resistance, differences among human populations, selective breeding of dogs and the variations we have derived from a small population of wolves, etc, etc?
"ID is bad theology dressed up as a philosophy - it is a “god of the gaps” argument."
this is a red herring argument used to ignore the issues brought up by ID.

Another red herring argument. ID makes no claim about the age of the universe. What you are referring to is "Young Earth Creationism".
